Finding "the pee spot"
Hi all,
Haven't posted here in years....but anyway, I have question for you kind folks. I accidentally locked my female, Bonnie, in my closet for the whole day. Didn't realize it until she started wailing and scratching that evening when I returned home from work. *sigh* That was several days ago, and now *the smell* has started, which tells me she peed in the closet whilst trapped - it just didn't start to get smelly until now. I have cleared out the closet, but cannot see any obvious stain in the carpet. So I can't tell where she actually did the deed. I know I can treat the spot with Nature's Miracle once I find it, but I certainly can't douse the entire floor of the closet with the stuff. I've heard about using a black light or something to make the pee glow? Is that true? Any advice for me here? My closet is reeking now! Thanks for any help!

see any obvious stain in the carpet. So I can't tell where she actually did the deed. You can find the spot using a blacklight or do it the old fashioned way, on your hands and knees sniffing for the smell. :-) I know I can treat the spot with Nature's Miracle once I find it, but I certainly can't douse the entire floor of the closet with the stuff. IMO Nature's Miracle is not a great product and often needs to be applied several times to successfully remove odors. A much better one is Petzyme Cat Stain and Odor Remover, which can be purchased at Petsmart. It works remarkably well and is very reasonably priced at about $11-$12 a gallon.

do it the old fashioned
way, on your hands and knees sniffing for the smell. :-) Blech. I hope I'm never reduced to this. ROFL! Somewhere between all the health problems and surgeries I have had, I have completely lost my sense of smell. I realized this when I was loving on the dog, and my DH walked up and started gagging and informed he had rolled in a dead skunk. So now I am *completely and utterly* paranoid about odor in the house. Sherry |

"Sherry " wrote in message ... do it the old fashioned way, on your hands and knees sniffing for the smell. :-) Blech. I hope I'm never reduced to this. ROFL!

So now I am *completely and utterly* paranoid about odor in the house. Sherry Hey, another one! ;-) I lost my sense of smell a couple of Christmases ago, when I had a whopping great cold. I didn't realize it till a couple of weeks later when I was in Body & Bath, shopping for my niece's b'day, & couldn't smell *anything* when I opened 2 of the bottles! Went home & sniffed vinegar & bleach - nothing at all. Went to an ENT, who checked to make sure nothing awful - like a brain tumor - was causing it, then he sent me to a sensory clinic. Got tested for it - tons & tons of samples tested; ~80% gone. A *little* more has returned in the last year or so (I was told that if it's going to return, it'll do so within two years; after that it's probably a lost cause), but what I do have is mostly aberrant. I used to love the smell of beebalm/monarda, for example, which grows in my garden - but now it smells icky. Can't smell most bad stuff at all, but can't smell most good stuff, either: lilies & roses, newly-cut grass, for example - nada. Btw - I can smell skunk just a little - barely a whiff - but it has a faintly sweet odor now. Not recognizable as "skunk", at all. I just hope to heaven my garbage doesn't get stinky before garbage night each week - could be embarrassing visitors, 'cause I'd never know it! Cathy -- "Staccato signals of constant information..."
